Sleeved cables worth it?

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
I am really considering getting sleeved cables from moddiy, I like the look but other than aesthetics are they worth getting?

if they are individually sleaved then it might have an advantage for cable management if you have a tight area behind your mobo tray when you cant fit one thick say mobo cable behind the tray.. other than that, really just for your looks of the your rig smile.gif

The are sexy and like stubass said, you can squash them behind the MOBO cable management area easier than standard fat all in one PSU cables..

Sleeved cables can really turn your whole rig's aesthetics around. If you have the means, I say go for it.

You could even pick up the NZXT starter kit (8pin AUX, 24Pin MB, 6+2 and 6pin PCIe sleeved extensions) for $23 from Amazon if you wanted to get it done relatively cheap. That's what I used in my secondary rig (Distraction) just to clean it up a little without spending much at all.

I think I'm going to do it once I get a pair of AF140s, and a fan controller and an H100, the H80 works well but really is awkward hanging in the case. Aesthetics is last on my list and my cable management is pretty good anyway, but I think I'll be going with the blue/black from moddiy as the board is a black pcb with blue heat sinks. I do think that the sleeved cables look sick but can't justify the cost yet when there's a few more things that can be done that can be done to improve performance.

I would definately go with the Bitfenix Alchemy cables, they are a lot better quality.

I do not think they're worth it especially since your power supply cables are already sleeved. I suggest just individually sleeving everything else but your power supply.
